None Amazing club! I have the Prolite 3.5 stiff shaft. The club has such classic looks but delivers like the high-tech "basket-on-the-end-of-stick" drivers so prevalent today. Toe and heel hits still deliver reasonable yardage and the ball stays in play. This is the first Cleveland club I have ever owned, but I will be giving them another look if the others delivers like the Quadpro Ti. The price should be dropping soon with the introduction of the Cleveland Launcher. Similar Products Used: Calloway Great Big Bertha 8.5 |

None This club is truly amazing. I''ve never come close to hitting as many fairways as I have with this club. I have the 9.5 degree with Proforce 65 stiff shaft. I''m not hitting the ball incredibly long, but I really don''t care. I''m staying out of trouble and I''ve turned my driving around from the biggest weakness of my game to maybe my biggest strength.

None I am 15 and I bought this club about 3 months ago and have had mixed success with it. Distance wise it is great. I used to hit a titleist 976r about 220 yards but i didn''t get any roll. over the last three months I have increased my distance to about 265 yard average and usually have 2 or 3 275 yard plus drives per round. I am getting about 20 to 30 yards of roll depending on the firmness of the fairways. Accuracy wise the club is not so great. It''s like a set of forged blades they go exactly where you aim them. Thin shots are extremely forgiven. today on the first hole, a 387 yard par 4, I hit the ball extremely thin and I had 98 yards in to the hole. I do get the occasional slice when I come from the inside but forget to square the face and I hit it about 200 yards right. I got the 9.5 degree w/ a regular flex proforce 65. when i was tring out drivers I tried the VFT, the tm 320, TISI, the 975d, the adams st, and a mizuno forged ti, recently I tried the 975j. The adams was by far the best but the BiMatrix shaft broke the first day and I just got the cleveland. Overall the club is great I am narrowing my misses down to 2 or 3 yards of the fairway and have greatly increased distance this past week, so I am getting to see just how good the club really is and it''s good. It looks great at address and feels great. The shaft graphics are out of site, and the finish doesn''t reflect the sun so you can focus on hitting. Their stock grip is terrible though, I regripped with a Golf Pride 50th anniv. victory velvet full cord and have greatly increase accuracy b/c of less slipage. I also own a set of cleveland ta-3 forged irons and they are great as well. Cleveland has to be the most underated company in golf. Similar Products Used: None |

None I am a pretty good player but do not hit the ball very far. I was hoping that this driver would enable me to do so. This has not been the case. Don''t get me wrong, I love the club, I just found out I need to increase my clubhead speed. I wonder about the people who review clubs. I am a 1 handicap at a 6,600 yard course but since my swing speed is around 100 to 102 mph I am lucky to get 250 to 260 yards carry and roll. It seems to me that all these claims to the 300+ yard drives are a little off. But maybe I am just jealous. I guess I will have to settle for shooting even par until I can drive for show. Anyway great club and very accurate. The shaft keeps the ball a little lower but the roll distance on the right turf is phenominal. Great club at a great price.

This is an extremely easy club to find a groove and hit the ball straight. I have always been able to hit the ball a ton, but not always straight. I firmly believe this club has helped me immensely. I have a stiff Bimatrix shaft, and it really helps reduce the torque on the clubhead to reduce spinning the ball. It may not hit as long as the enormous drivers on the market, but is comparable and more accurate. This club has given me the chance to be on the green in regulation A LOT. If you are a big hitter, GO FOR IT, you won't regret it. Customer Service If you are going to buy, go to Golf Galaxy, very knowledgable and willing to help. Similar Products Used: None |

I bought a Wilson Deep Red driver early this year. As beautiful as the club looks, I didn't hit it very well. I sliced more often than not and mishits resulted in unsatisfactory distance. I sold it on ebay and went on a quest for a new driver. I hit just about everything out there. I narrowed it down to the Taylor Made 360 (10.5* R-80) and the Callaway Hawkeye VFT (10* Regular Flex). I liked the feel of the Callaway, but the results of the Taylor Made 360 a little bit better. I demo'd them on three separate occassions and was leaning heavily towards the Taylor Made 360. While I was talking with the salesman after my 3rd demo session, I noticed some Cleveland Quadpro Ti drivers with both Bi-Matrix shafts and Pro Force shafts. The salesman told me they were selling them at a good price... $229. Hmmm. I figured I'd give the driver a shot, so I asked for it with both shafts. I asked for a 10.5* with regular flex. The shop only had stiff bi-matrix shafts in 9.5*. I decided to try it anyway. I took the two Cleveland drivers and the Taylor Made 360 out to the range. In my mind, it was really just a chance to reconfirm that the Taylor Made was the driver I'd be buying. I hit the TM360 first and hit it respectably. Then I tried the Cleveland with the Pro Force shaft. It was okay, but not overly impressive. I sliced a little with it and didn't have as much distance as the TM360. I was hesitant to waste balls hitting the Bi-Matrix as it was a stiff flex shaft and a lower loft than I normally used. I expected to slice the ball clean off the range. I hit it a few times and I hit it straight with decent distance. I'd hit a few balls with one club and then a few with another... giving all three equal time. The Cleveland with the Bi-matrix shaft was easily the best. I hit it straight or many times with a draw, and I never hit draws with my driver. Even on my worst shots, I was hitting a very tame fade that would stay in the fairway. I was shocked that the stiff flex was working for me. I'm an easy swinger with a swing speed of 90 MPH. I took another small bucket of balls and hit the Cleveland with Bi-matrix shaft vs. the TM360. I hit the Cleveland much better. I bought the Cleveland that day and played with 9 holes with it a couple of days later at course that doesn't have a driving range. I was nervous to pull it out as it was still new to me. I'm glad I did. I hit every fairway and hit the farthest I've ever hit. My buddies commented, "You're wailing with your driver today!" and "That's the best I've seen you hit your driver." The Quadpro comes with a 260cc head, which is small compared to the larger heads that are out there today. I've played 3 rounds with it now and I've never had as much success playing the long par 4's and par 5's as I've had since I've been using this driver. By the way, I tried the Mizuno T-Zoid Forged with the same Bi-matrix shaft and didn't have same results. It appears that the Quadpro Ti and the Bi-matrix combo is a great match. Give it a try. Customer Service I own Cleveland irons and sent my 3-iron in for warranty and was pleased with the service. It took about 10 days, turn-around time.

I get the feeling that once a club gets rated as highly as this one, people begin to think it has some sort of magical properties for correcting major swing flaws. Well, this club is not magic and does not correct swing flaws, but it performs pretty much as all the reviews said it would; long and straight on well hit shots and reasonably long and very straight on shots hit off the sweet-spot.

Since this is almost the highest rated driver on the list, I had to try it. Firmly a believer that equipment is the difference between my game and greatness, I headed to the range with high expectations. The club performed reasonably well, but nothing remarkable. Not any longer or straighter than any of the others I have used. In fact, some of the knock-offs I have used are actually more solid. I'm afraid a good swing trumps all else.

I'm obviously not a great player as you can see by my handicap, but after reading the reviews on this website for the Cleveland QuadPro Titanium driver, I decided to go demo one. When I first saw it, I wasn't overly impressed with the design. It's nice looking, but not awe inspiring like the Taylor Made 300 series or the sharp Mizuno Forged Ti driver. Once I began hitting balls, I see what you all are talking about and the look of the club grew on me. I'm a slicer, but this club is very forgiving and I actually hit several draws, which I rarely do with my Taylor Made. The distance was less than what I hit with some other clubs, but not much less. Hitting straight more often is worth sacrafice of a few yards. I ended up buying one (on ebay for $200)with the Quadpro shaft which worked fine for me, so I'm not going to reshaft it.

10.5 degree Proforce65 Stiff Shaft
Great driver for those seeking good distance, control, and feel. Very easy club to swing, excellent feel / sound. I had been a '3-wood off the tee' player, afraid to use a driver. This one is actually easier to hit and straighter than my Cleveland Tour Action Ti 3 wood off the tee. Probably not the longest driver out there, but I'll give up a few yards any day for this kind of accuracy. Very solid club especially with the UST Profoce 65 shaft. Customer Service I could not find a left handed model locally. Their customer service gave me info. on local retailers who carry their products and 'real' delivery leadtimes.
